Every thing is cheering in this part of the world for Texas The hearts
of this people are with us— Nothing is now needed but union at home and
an absolute and immediate declaration of independence— I hope it is
already made by the convention and an express dispatched with it for the
commissioners—

The most perfect harmony exists between all the commissioners—Archer
is truly a noble fellow. I have never known him intimately before, and
I am very much attached to him— Wharton and myself are on the best of
terms and I have no doubt will always continue to be in future—it is not my
fault that we ever were otherwise—heretofore we [have] not known each
other personally as we might and ought to have— I hope for the good of
Texas that we shall harmonize in future, all parties are injurious to our
country at this time. We are few in numbers, and we must be united.

Williams will give you the genl. news of the times. I wish you to get
him to attend immediately after his arrival to the business I left a
memorandum of with you— Life is uncertain and such matters ought to be closed
finally— I recommend the Bank he has made arrangements to put in
operation—it will be very usefull to Texas and I hope there will be no
opposition to it— I cannot believe there will be any— Love to Sister and the
children remember me to your neighbors—
